    The history of Fred jewelry began when Fred Samuel moved from Argentina to Paris for an apprenticeship and later opened his own jewelry shop in 1936. Samuel was known for his casual yet sophisticated style, working with diamonds, pearls and colored gemstones. Some of his high-profile clients included Princess Grace of Monaco and the King and Queen of Nepal. The sign above his storefront on rue Royale was initially branded with the founder's full name, but during the 1940s, the "Samuel" part came down. Today, jewelry lovers commonly know the company as Fred, a brand operated by Fred Paris. In 1996, Fred Paris was acquired by luxury holding company LVMH (which went on to purchase Tiffany & Co. and Bvlgari). Fred Samuel died in 2006, but Fred Paris continues his legacy in jewelry. Explore a diverse assortment of Fred Paris jewelry on 1stDibs.

    Although opinions may vary, the most famous Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry is arguably the Alhambra collection, which debuted in 1970. Jacques Arpels – the nephew of Estelle Arpels, who founded Van Cleef & Arpels with her husband, Alfred, in 1906 – liked to say, "To be lucky, you must believe in luck." This mantra is embodied in the four-leaf clover motif of the Alhambra collection, and it can be found in sketches in the house’s archives dating back to the 1910s. The quatrefoil shape also has architectural resonance, as it is found in Gothic and Renaissance structures and in such Moorish buildings as the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, which inspired the name of this famed Van Cleef & Arpels line. Explore a variety of Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra jewelry on 1stDibs.
